Healthy Snacks: Avocado Banana Bread

We go through plenty of loaves of homemade banana bread in our house, and I’m often experimenting with added ingredients – blueberries, chocolate swirl, peanut butter, toasted nuts – but when I came across this recipe for banana bread made with mashed avocado, I had to give it a go. I so often buy avocados that ripen at a time when I don’t need to use them, and once overripe there isn’t much to do besides make a batch of guacamole. In this banana loaf – or muffins or mini loaves – the avocado replaces the fat, adding moisture and richness along with fiber and nutrients. Totally brilliant.
Bake the batter as a single loaf (it will take about an hour in an 8×4-inch loaf pan) or as muffins if you don’t have mini loaf pans.
